i'm from manchester and obviously it has a bit of a rep for being a bit rough but it completely depends on the area which is the same with all places. think maybe it'll just be if you bump into a few of the people from those areas but on the whole dont think it's a rough uni.. never know though i guess. all my friends that go love it and said that everyone is lovely :smile:

Where else have you applied to? :smile:

I don't know yet... to be honest 'England' in general is my first choice I just want to be anywhere that isn't Northern Ireland!

I've been to the city and loved it though didn't get to see any of the universities... the Arndale etc was good

I've applied to Coventry, Derby, Buckinghamshire New University and then MMU... I want to live more down north but Manchester has more going on as a city which leaves me feeling torn about where to choose lol But Manchester is notorious for it's nights out

Have you received any offers yet?

I'm thinking about applying here, and studying film and media, but I'm getting mixed reviews about the university itself. I'm so unsure, and I don't think I can be able to make any of the open days. Any advice? Really grateful.

I dont go there (yet, hopefully) but I know quite a few people there from freshers to already graduated and they have all told me great things!! apparently the lecturers are very enthusiastic on the most part and they have found it easy to make friends with people being really friendly :smile:

I heard that it's really rough up there and the teaching isn't all that either tbh. It's so hard because I'm thinking of another uni to put instead of Stirling. I have my four choices though.

i'm from Manchester and it honestly depends what part you're in as to whether or not it's rough but you get that everywhere. I wouldn't say that where the uni is, is rough at all but I guess living there all the time it might be different. Ahh i hope you find one to put instead :smile:

Thanks for that... I was wondering about the whole 'rough' thing as well but I suppose you would have to experience living in the city for a period of time to have an opinion on it.

My referee just needs to accept my request and then it's all go from there. I can't wait to send it off.

I've applied to do business management with foundation year at Manchester met but I've never been to an open day as it's roughly 6 hours on several trains and quite costly to travel there. So I have no idea what the city is like, does anyone know what it is like to live there?

the city is a really nice place to live, there are some rough areas but on the whole it's nice. the shopping centre is modern but then there's also lots of independent shops. there are lots of places to go out at night with different themes/music genres etc but then there's also lots of things to do like cinema and bowling. I love it in Manchester and find that the students there are really friendly too :smile:

oh and there are loooads of buses to get around often!

I am applying for criminology which is located in the cheshire campus but think I will stay in accomodation that is closer to Manchester city centre and just travel bus when I have class. Don't like the thought of been situated away from all the nightlife etc.. Any other cheshire people doing this?
